I tend to agree. I hesitate sometimes to tell the average person about crypto bc of all the baggage that comes with it. Crypto needs more taste and thoughtfulness around messaging and culture.

Flip side of this is that there’s little barrier to entry so basically anyone can hustle and get into crypto It’s also easier for good people and good teams to stand out if they’re consistent and willing to wade through all the baggage that comes with crypto

And sometimes they interpret this hesitancy as gatekeeping.

I took some steps to try and found a publicity DAO that would hire full time publicists to get positive stories out about NFTs to counter all the greed, scams and cringe celebrity shit, but by the time I found a publicist that was interested NFTs had crashed and there honestly weren't enough positive stories and not enough people interested in funding something like that. But I do think ultimately it's a good idea because the only positive crypto stories are about getting rich quick, and that only brings in people in the short term.

TBH I start with Soft dev / Data Scientist… if they are curious enough to be more specific, I do say crypto / blockchain I don’t care that much what they think anymore but I agree is a sensitive topic for many

If they don’t think you’re a scumbag they’ll think you’re rich and should give free money.

Phase 1: "I'm a software engineer." What kind of software? Phase 2: "FinTech" or if I'm feeling frisky, "digital finance." If they're interested they'll dig and we get to Phase 3: Them asking a million questions about Bitcoin or XRP.

I tend to talk about use cases when problems occur with the status quo vs coins.. that has helped level set expectations to be something beyond "number to up?" IMHO it's a curse to bring someone into crypto for "profit" as they'll chart watch 24/7 and face mental decline.

I’ve been testing different ways to frame it for my YouTube audience, so far it’s been quite bad I would say. Better to pitch, eg, farcaster as adless social media than a place for crypto

I find my conviction usually provokes interest, although that comes with me acknowledging the seedy aspect. Most people I know consider stocks somewhat rigged and are gambling with sports betting and whatever anyway, so crypto isn’t as far from all that as we might think

I get it, the baggage makes it tough to share.

You should connect with kris, who said: 'I feel you. I gave this presentation two years ago and more relevant than ever I'd say. We need more soul, education & culture.'
